Let's go f***ing get them?"

Appearance
Deathless are a name used to describe the semi-organic demigods who claim dominion over portions of the Known World. Their ages vary from several hundreds of years to several hundreds of thousands. Their appearances vary vastly, some appear like the mortal races, whilst others might have the appearance of a quadruped predatory beasts, others ruling the sea as giant serpents. However, they are all described as having extremely precisely fitted, unprecedentedly advanced, bio-organic bodies beneath their usually immaculately adorned armors and robes.

History
They have simply been in Echos since the dawn of time, ancient myths that have never faded away.

They are respected, feared, resented, adored by the mortal races. Wars have been waged against them and in their name. Some of them have enslaved the Known World, others have vanquished their Deathless brethren in the name of salvation and peace. Some have been meditating in buried temples for millenia.

They have laid waste to the mightiest armies to test their own strength, they have burst out of the earth and swallowed small villages inside massive, cyberkinetic jaws, they have rescued drowning children from shipwrecks miles out to sea.

They are extremely mysterious, unpredictable, and dangerous beings. Gods walking the Echos.

Known Traits
As their name implies, they are immortal, only able to be killed by trauma, and even then, they are resurrected in full health at The Shard- a miles-high crystal fortress in the far northern Creedlands.

Although they are sentient and extremely intelligent, they usually have very little patience for mortals.

Their temples are usually massive marvels carved straight from nature. Their sizes usually lead to small towns building at the outskirts of the Deathless' temple. What the Deathless do within is a mystery.

The Deathless have access to weaponry, magick, and technology the likes of which we've never seen. In fact, most modern technologies are based heavily on Deathless designs: reverse engineered from ancient gifts from the beings themselves, as well as forbidden knowledge salvaged from treasure hunters and archaeology. However, the Deathless wield the ultimate versions of the mortal races' mimicries. Their blades, guns, wheels and supercomputers are that of the gods.
